PHARMACOVIGILANCE- SCIENCE OF PATIENT SAFETY

The Searle Company Limited is committed to improving patient care and safety, ensuring public health and safety concerning the use of medicines, and promoting understanding, training, and effective communication to healthcare professionals and the public.

Any medicine, no matter how safe and effective, can sometimes cause side effects. We take our obligation to report product safety information to health authorities very seriously and all of us at Searle share responsibility for improving the lives of patients and meeting regulatory obligations to forward safety information concerning Searle products.

What needs to be reported?

All medicines have risks as well as benefits and the Pharmacovigilance department plays an important role by continuously evaluating information received from patients, healthcare professionals, and members of the public in balancing benefits against risk.

Some of the information collected includes:

  • Side effects to medicines
  • Use of medicines during pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Overdose, misuse, abuse of medicine
  • Product complaints
  • Lack of effectiveness
  • Medication errors
